Spiced Lamb Burger image

As the lamb cooks inside the pita, the fat will render into the bread, creating a crunchy, compact, vibrantly flavored meat pie that's unlike any burger you've ever had.

I didn't have any lamb, so I used ground beef instead. The burgers still turned out great.

These burgers were a little too dry for my taste. I think I should have cooked them for a shorter amount of time.

I'm not a big fan of lamb, but I really enjoyed these burgers. The spices really masked the lamb flavor.

These burgers are a bit spicy, so if you don't like spicy food, you may want to adjust the amount of spices you use.

I served these burgers with a side of tzatziki sauce, and it was the perfect complement.

I added a little bit of feta cheese to the burgers, and it was a great addition. It gave them a nice tangy flavor.
